Guys, please help me out. When you applied for NON Express Entry PR did you include the blank pages in your passport?

No , you only need your bio pages of passport. You don't need to include blank pages.
@Jatthwhwhwhs : Mine was same, I had paid the biometric fee along with the application. When I got AOR (after 5 months) on Dec 23, 2024, they asked me to pay the biometric fee. Didn't you get email along with AOR to pay the fee? Please check properly. If IRCC has asked to pay biometric fee - please pay it again. You can get the refund later. I paid the fee again on Dec 27, 2024 and received the BIL letter on 6th Mar 2025 (more than 2 months waiting). I have learnt that since the timeline has increased to 21 months for Non Express entry , the entire process has become slow. So please have patience. Calling IRCC doesn't help much as even they do not have any information on the status.
And to backup what Miss Bee said I just included the pages I used and it was accepted without issue
How long have you been waiting for Final Decision since you cleared your background check and others?
Hello everyone and @Miss bee ,
I applied for my non-Express Entry OINP (Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program) application on May 19, 2024. I received my AOR (Acknowledgement of Receipt) in September. The last update I got was on November 7, 2024, when I passed my medical exam. I also gave my biometrics on November 14, 2024.
However, there was some incomplete information in my IMM5604 form, and IRCC requested me to resubmit it, which I did on November 17, 2024.
It has now been around 5 months, and I am still waiting for my pre-arrival letter and I applied within canada, I guess I will get P1 after my PAL so waiting for that. I’ve noticed that people who applied in July 2024 have already received their Final Decisions. Should I be concerned about the delay?

what happens when the nomination certificate expires while PR application is still ongoing? should i apply for another nomination?
Hi, I need your help...
I'm currently waiting for Ecopr after submitting Portal 2 last month.
and my employer fired me today without 2 weeks' notice.
I am worried about my pr processing... is that okay? non-ee pnp / closed work permit through LMIA / there's no employer restriction on Alberta nominee.
if it's okay, can I apply for EI as well? thanks for your help!

No need to be concerned. If you'd like more processing details, call IRCC or even order gcms notes. I remember back in May, nonee PNP processing time was 11 mo, and now it's 21 mo. Regardless of which processing time frame you're under, you're still within the standard processing time. My friend received her P1 one week after she reached her 11 mo milestone, and it was 6 months of silence in the middle. Since everyone has quite different backgrounds and experiences, processing time might vary. I know the feeling, and we all know patience is the only key to this game. Best of luck!
